What is recorded here

Under Parknabinnia, Clare, a passage tomb holds its stones in darkness. Built before written memory, it marked death, ancestry or rebirth for the people who lived beside that land. The chamber still waits beneath the grass, patient and unchanged while the world above has turned to dust and new names.
